The Great Gatsby

F.Scott Fitzgerald was born in St Paul, Minnesota in 1896. He studied at Princeton University before joining the army in 1917. In 1920 he married Zelda Sayre. Their traumatic relationship and subsequent breakdowns became a major influence on his writing. Among his publications were five novels: This Side of Paradise, The Great Gatsby, The Beautiful and the Damned, Tender is the Night and the Last Tycoon (his last and unfinished work); six volumes of short stories and The Crack-Up, a selection of autobiographical pieces. F. Scott Fitzgerald died suddenly in 1940.

There was music from my neighbour's house through the summer nights. In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars'. Everybody who is anybody is seen at the glittering parties held in millionaire Jay Gatsby's mansion in West Egg, east of New York. The riotous throng congregates in his sumptuous garden, coolly debating Gatsby's origins and mysterious past. None of the frivolous socialites understands him and among various rumours is the conviction that 'he killed a man'. A detached onlooker, Gatsby is oblivious to the speculation he creates, but always seems to be watching and waiting, though no one knows what for. As the tragic story unfolds, Gatsby's destructive dreams and passions are revealed, leading to disturbing consequences. A brilliant evocation of 1920s high society, "The Great Gatsby" peels away the layers of this glamorous world to display the coldness and cruelty at its heart.

读后感

撕开一本《MILK》的内页，给我的几本菲茨杰拉德包上了书皮。 最近又重新对他着迷。 重读了《了不起的盖茨比》，又重读了《夜色温柔》， 以及那些我最中意的他的短篇，每一个不同的翻译者，都让文章泛出不同的温柔光彩。 昨天和今天一直在读《了不起的盖茨比》。 故事惊人的高...  

写在前面 《了不起的盖茨比》是打动我最深、对我影响最大的五部小说之一。有时候会有朋友问我：“我也读过这本书啊，没觉得有那么出众啊，怎么会对你如此这般？”。我仔细思考过这个问题，然后很庆幸的发现，我是在自己人生的最合适的阶段读到了这本书。 如果我是在25岁第一次...  

盖茨比的死应该由谁来负责：是开枪的人？如果他是自杀的呢？还是说出肇事车是属于盖茨比从而达到嫁祸目的的汤姆·布坎农？还是守望者盖茨比的等待对象黛西？还是造梦者盖茨比本人？ 汤姆·布坎农在三个场合遇到盖茨比，第一次盖茨比是尼克（他在文章里充当叙述者）的朋友，双...  

“爵士时代的挽歌”之类的说法，对The Great Gatsby是个蹩脚的评价。且不说这部小说出版时，距大萧条还有四年多的时间，这个故事的背景，也完全可以放在1900年代、50年代、80、90年代，以及刚刚过去这个十年的中期。唯一可以勉强与爵士时代挂上钩的，或许只有Fitzgerald华丽而...

He "paid a high price for living too long with a single dream"

三年过去重读还是深深被震撼。这本书里面有很多类型的人的挣扎。喜欢主人公，还有Jordan。还有这个版本的封面是在是太漂亮了。

"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
